Attitude era finally buried
I was among the first to make the observation, but others are now starting to catch on; the WWE Attitude era, typified by The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and others, is now over. With John “The Champ Is Here” Cena writing “JBL is poopy!” at a face taunt against a heel, it’s clear that WWE is subtlely changing their branding from the over-excesses of the Attitude era to a more family-friendly atmosphere is a welcome move for those of us who remember watching WWE as kids and being able to see an episode without an overdose of mature-rated content throughout the program.
Sure, back then WWE’s sponsors were mainly made of up acne treatment providers, but I think they’ve started to realize how many young kids watch their shows, especially given how many of their events are sponsored by videogame makers.
WWE Attitude was fun while it lasted; but I’m glad to see the company returning to a less risque product.

“JBL is Poopy” is a GOOD sign? What are you, high?
